Research Paper On Galileo

In this report i will be explaining some of galileo experiments. It will explain how the projectiles and the parabolic actually work. Using an incline plane Galileo experimented acceleration motion and he will use the same projectile motion to study. He placed a inclined plane on a table with a curved piece at the bottom which deflected a bronze ball into a horizontal direction. The ball results accelerated rolled over the table top with a uniform motion then rolled of the edge of the table on to the floor where it left mark. The mark could be measured horizontal and vertical distance travel by the ball. Galileo was able to determine that the path of a projectile is parabolic.
I have selected the topic of football because it has a lot to do with projectile. A projectile is when a item has been thrown from one spot to another spot. Any object can create a projectile if it is empty or full along has you throw the object up in the air. These projectiles have a trajectories path that follows them when a object like a football is thrown or kick.
When a football is being thrown from one spot to another it travel in the air making a …show more content…
When a projectile is thrown, it is set in motion along a straight horizontal pathway. In outer space, a projectile will keep following that pathway. Near the Earth's surface, the influence of gravity begins immediately and affects the entire course of the projectile's flight. A projectile's horizontal velocity remains constant. It does not accelerate. But the force of gravity causes a projectile to accelerate in a vertical direction down toward the surface of the Earth. The influence of gravity pulls the projectile away from its straight-line original path into a curved, parabolic path. Downward acceleration continues until the projectile hits the ground and comes to rest. This state of rest where the projectile's velocity is zero in all
